"I bought this top as a base layer to wear while hiking the Kepler track in NZ. I wore this tee for the full four days, with some days being 9hr long hikes, had no access to showers or washing machine and by the end of the four days it didn’t even smell bad! It was perfect for when I needed extra warmth and layered up but also for the sunny days when all I needed was a breathable tee. I had thought there was no way that a material could hold up that well but I was happily proven wrong! Even though this isn’t cheap, if you’re looking for a hiking base layer you can’t go past this one."
